Chapter 1383: Chapter 1383

As the most powerful man in the "Northwestern Region" now, Qiu Tu has actually become more restrained and steady.

So when he heard Shen Yuzhou's words, he elegantly picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped his mouth, then raised his head to look at Shen Yuzhou and Candle Dance.

It must be said, if the daughter is beautiful, the father is often not bad either.

Shen Lingshuang is beautiful and charming, adorable and cute, Shen Yuzhou is also handsome and dashing, like a jade tree facing the wind. Even though he is middle-aged, he has not lost any charisma.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu gestured slightly at the chair opposite him, then spoke, "Chairman Shen, please sit."

After two days of confrontation, Qiu Tu had already firmly controlled the entire situation.

Whether it was Li Feng or Shen Yuzhou, they had both tacitly accepted that Qiu Tu was now in full charge of the Seventh Sanctuary.

So, Shen Yuzhou obediently sat opposite Qiu Tu. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The beautifully dressed maid stepped forward to clear the dishes. Soon, only Qiu Tu, Shen Yuzhou, and Candle Dance were left in the dining room.

Without outsiders, Shen Yuzhou became noticeably more casual.

He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses today, looking more cultured and also more like a scoundrel.....

Adjusting his glasses, he squinted slightly and looked at Qiu Tu on the opposite side, pointedly saying, "I thought Speaker Qiu was planning to avoid me forever?"

Hearing Shen Yuzhou's words, Qiu Tu looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him and said bluntly, "That's not avoiding... it's called negotiation skills."

"The trump card is in my hand, so there's no need for me to waste words with you before the dust settles."

Saying this, Qiu Tu gently tapped the dining table, then dominantly said, "I don't like to haggle."

"Since the advantage is mine, I will stand and fight! And you can only kneel and listen!"

To be honest, in the Third Sanctuary, Shen Yuzhou is already considered one of the more temperate high-level figures, but facing Qiu Tu in recent times, his blood pressure has been rising steadily.

Several times, he nearly followed Qiu Tu's example to flip the table and end things abruptly.

But.... not to mention Qiu Tu's suppressive "strength," just considering both their statuses....

Shen Yuzhou is not like Qiu Tu, who is the head of his force, combining prestige, power, and is a founder.

He is merely the Deputy Speaker of the Third Sanctuary and the second figure in the "Order Faction."

Any decision he makes needs to consider the Speaker and the head's intent, he can't decide arbitrarily.

But Qiu Tu is different. As the head of the force, any decision he makes can practically be finalized in a word, and his forces will back him without question.

Whereas if Shen Yuzhou makes too outrageous a decision, the Third Sanctuary and the "Order Faction" might sell him out.

Therefore, even though Qiu Tu is getting more arrogant and infuriating, Shen Yuzhou's temples throb with anger, in the end.... he endured.

However, enduring doesn't mean he will continue to give Qiu Tu an easy time.

He gathered his expression, then looked at Qiu Tu and countered, "So, why is Speaker Qiu doing business with me today, then?"

This is indeed a contradiction in Qiu Tu.

But Qiu Tu didn't care at all. He looked at Shen Yuzhou, then boldly said, "Because I'm saving you, Chairman Shen."

Perhaps seeing the puzzlement in Shen Yuzhou, Qiu Tu didn't keep him guessing and said, "Chairman Shen must have come to the Seventh Sanctuary with a mission, right?"

Before Shen Yuzhou could answer, Qiu Tu continued, "Although I don't know what your mission is. But.... you certainly haven't achieved it."

"Because.... you haven't gained anything from me."

Qiu Tu counted on his fingers, "Money, territory, influence, reputation, all none."

"You didn't even gain my friendship."

Shen Yuzhou's expression became a bit grim.

Qiu Tu said, "It can be said that only four words can describe your visit: Complete Failure."

Shen Yuzhou is considered a man of depth, so even though Qiu Tu humiliated him this way, he still didn't lose his composure, just continued waiting for Qiu Tu to speak.

He believes Qiu Tu invited him today not to slap his face, nor to humiliate him.

Everything now is just an appetizer, merely Qiu Tu's negotiation tactics.

Sure enough, after pressuring Shen Yuzhou, Qiu Tu changed his tone and said, "So, the reason I'm doing business with Chairman Shen today is to save Chairman Shen."

Shen Yuzhou looked deeply at Qiu Tu, inquiring, "What business?"

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "It can't be selling that girl to me, right?"

He shook his head, "I am indeed interested in that, but.... this issue is one I caused myself."

"If it costs too much to resolve everything, it'll just add to my negative evaluation."

Listening to Shen Yuzhou, Qiu Tu smiled. He glanced at Candle Dance beside him, then opened his mouth, "It has nothing to do with Shen Lingshuang."

Shen Yuzhou heard and was a bit puzzled, "Then.....?"

Qiu Tu looked at Shen Yuzhou, then said, "I remember the first time Chairman Shen met me, you proposed four conditions."

"1. Establish a 'Special Envoy' to supervise the Seventh Sanctuary."

"2. All head-level appointments in the Seventh Sanctuary must be approved by the Human Camp."

"3. Establish 8 offices in the 8 states of the Seventh Sanctuary, considered as extraterritorial territories."

"4. The preparation and operational funds for the offices need to be covered by the Seventh Sanctuary."
